The Catch
Easter week is traditionally the big catch of the year for Grimsby fishermen feeding the Good Friday faithful. But the catch this year was that the 'lumpers' (the dock labour force), wouldn't land the fish. Nevertheless the fishermen battled on against the elements; and travelling fishmongers Rob and Christine Hinchcliffe continued their weekly trip south to share the pleasures of the deep with their customers of Hampstead and Highgate.

The Hope of Progress
Sir Peter Medawar , who died last November, was a great scientist who, with the help of an exceptional woman, triumphed over adversity and justified his hope of progress. He was shocked by the appalling burns of a Second World War airman who crashed near his home, and he set to work to find a treatment using skin grafts. His fundamental discoveries about the immune system inspired the surgeons who pioneered transplantation. Sir Peter became a Nobel
Laureate and figurehead of British science. After a severe stroke, his own courage and the support of his remarkable wife Jean, enabled him to return to writing, including his autobiography Memoir of a Thinking Radish.
Alan Howard reads Sir
Peter's own words in this tribute from his colleagues and Lady Medawar. Film editor TIM CAWSTON Producer JAMES BURGE
